The most cursed tour ever ‘rages’ on

Four songs into the first of a two night stay at The Madhouse, Zack de la Rocha, frontman of the reunited Rage Against the Machine, briefly went backstage before returning to the stage, seated, on a monitor. He told the crowd, “I don’t know what happened to my leg right now, but you know what? We’re gonna keep this f*ckin’ shit goin’. If I have to crawl across this stage. We’re gonna play for y’all tonight. We came too f*ckin’ far.”

Fear not, the four-piece sounded as strong as ever, even with their leader seated on a monitor to the side of the stage.

A woman was seen walking a banana…

Most people carry bananas home in a bag. This woman was seen parading a banana on a leash through her town. The town recently had a few UFO sightings, so now people are really weirded out. Does she do this all the time? She walked the fruit in the busiest part too, at a high traffic hour- brave. Turns out, she said that she’s ‘practicing for a performance.’ Hmm… don’t buy it!

Tennis star blasts drunk fan at Wimbledon

Tennis star Nick Kyrgios called out a woman a Wimbledon, “She’s the one that looks like she’s had 700 drinks” after complaining about her to officials. Apparently, she was hassling him the entire game from the front row. Novak Djokovic beat Kyrgios, which was probably why he was more annoyed that day…

The legendary Tony Sirico has passed away

The man better known as Paulie Walnuts on HBO’s Sopranos has passed away. Sirico was 79-years-old, CNN reports.

There is perhaps no character funnier than Walnuts in the history of television. His legacy will live on forever, but he will be greatly missed.

There’s a future for Soldier Field — it’s just not gonna be with the Bears

📷: Eric Kristensen

Everyone seems to know the Chicago Bears are done with the City of Chicago — except the City of Chicago.

Let’s face it, the day that we heard the news about the Arlington Park property — it was over. More seats, more parking, infinitely more ways to control their revenue growth? It’s a no brainer for the McCaskey family.

Mayor Lori Lightfoot unveiled a plan this week that addresses none of those shortcomings the Bears deal with now at Soldier Field — but it does include the potential of adding a $1.5 billion taxpayer-sponsored dome. (I guess we’ll just keep slapping on layer upon layer to that place, until it topples over?)

The Monsters of the Midway may be vacating — but there are some excellent ideas in the new Museum Campus proposal that will bring into a brand new era.

Of the proposals covered by Block Club Chicago, the biggest win would be moving Huntington Bank Pavilion between the Field Museum and the stadium. It always feels like a monumental trek whenever you catch a show there and a more permanent structure might finally make that venue feel less — temporary. It would also make Northerly Island a more nature-friendly place to walk and visit on the lakefront.

We also forget that Soldier Field has another tenant: The Chicago Fire. Soccer’s popularity in this country has tripled over the last decade — it would be no surprise to me to see it continue to climb. Why not embrace this franchise by giving them a dedicated home?

Soldier Field had a life decades before the Chicago Bears moved down from Wrigley — when the team moves, it can still have a place in Chicago for decades to come.
